VILLA NATHALIE - TORNO

7 + 1 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Located on the western shore of Lake Como, in the center of the town of Torno, and just a short drive from the center of Como, this magnificent property is the perfect place for an elegant Italian break by the lake that inspired composers, artists, and poets. Set in the shadow of the snow-covered Rhaetian Alps and hemmed in on both sides by steep, verdant hillsides, Lake Como is perhaps the most spectacular of the three major lakes.

Shaped like an upside-down Y and measuring around 160 km in squiggly shoreline, Lake Como is littered with villages, including the exquisite Bellagio and Varenna. Where the southern and western shores converge is the lake's main town, Como, an elegant Italian city. The town of Cernobbio is on the shores of the south-western end of Lake Como. The main lakeside promenade heads left from the center, where the boats are dragged on to the quay. There are benches and plenty of shade from the sun under the trees.

Take a boat to Tremezzo, one of the most romantic places on Lake Como, and visit Villa Carlotta. Built at the close of the 17th century, Villa Carlotta was enriched by valuable works of art, including incredible sculptures by Antonio Canova, still on display inside the villa. But the main attraction is its luxuriant garden by the calm waters of Lake Como, which is divided into two parts: an Italian garden designed in the 18th century and an English one laid out by Princess Carlotta herself.

The villa is a few kilometers from Argegno, a small village overlooking Lake Como in the area of its major depth. After walking along the characteristic and narrow streets of the old town, do not miss the chance to take in the beautiful surroundings. Varenna is a romantic, mid-sized town with a pretty walkway looping throughout town, a pretty harbor flanked by kayaks and restaurants, and charming medieval lanes. Varenna comes alive in the spring as tourists start to arrive.
